Biodiesel Production by Microalgal Biotechnology
Applied Energy, 2010Biodiesel has received much attention in recent years. Although numerous reports are available on the production of biodiesel from vegetable oils of terraneous oil-plants, such as soybean, sunflower and palm oils, the production of biodiesel from microalgae is a newly emerging field.

Enzymatic Approach to Biodiesel Production
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2007The need for alternative energy sources that combine environmental friendliness with biodegradability, low toxicity, renewability, and less dependence on petroleum products has never been greater. One such energy source is referred to as biodiesel. This can be produced from vegetable oils, animal fats, microalgal oils, waste products of vegetable oil ...

Enzyme immobilization for biodiesel production
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2011Biodiesel has attracted more and more attention in recent years because of its biodegradability, environmentally friendliness, and renewability. Contrary to the conventional chemical catalysis method to produce biodiesel, the biochemical catalysis method developed quickly in the past decade and many immobilized enzymes are commercially available to ...

Biodiesel as a renewable fuel can be used in current diesel engines without further modifications. The conventional chemical methods for synthesizing biodiesel can be replaced by more environmentally friendly and low energy requiring enzymatic methods. To reduce the cost of enzymatic methods, whole-cell lipases with high hydrolytic activities which are

Heterogeneous Catalysts for Biodiesel Production
Energy & Fuels, 2007The production of biodiesel is greatly increasing due to its enviromental benefits. However, production costs are still rather high, compared to petroleum-based diesel fuel. The introduction of a solid heterogeneous catalyst in biodiesel production could reduce its price, becoming competitive with diesel also from a financial point of view.

Biodiesel production using heterogeneous catalysts
Bioresource Technology, 2011The production and use of biodiesel has seen a quantum jump in the recent past due to benefits associated with its ability to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG). There are large number of commercial plants producing biodiesel by transesterification of vegetable oils and fats based on base catalyzed (caustic) homogeneous transesterification of oils. However,

Process Optimization for Biodiesel Production
Recent Patents on Biotechnology, 2008Biodiesel is an alkyl ester of long chain fatty acids and is considered to leave smaller footprint on the environment. It is produced by transesterification of a fat/oil with a short chain primary alcohol like methanol or ethanol. The three routes to its preparation are: alkali catalyzed, acid catalyzed and lipase-catalyzed transesterification.

Vanadyl phosphate catalysts in biodiesel production
Applied Catalysis A: General, 2007The possibility of using vanadyl phosphate (VOP)-based catalysts in biodiesel production has been investigated. Vanadium phosphate catalysts resulted very active in the transesterification reaction of triglycerides with methanol, despite their low specific surface area.

As a result of the rapidly growing population and the developing industry, energy resources are becoming exhausted and therefore it is becoming increasingly necessary to find alternative energy sources. An alternative fuel must be technically feasible, economical, environmentally friendly. One of the alternative fuels is biodiesel.
